In a restricted sense it deals with the parts which form the fully developed individual and which can be rendered evident to the naked eye by various methods of dissection. HistologyEmbryology 5 6 Regional anatomy (Topographical anatomy) Considers the organization of the human body as major parts or segments: a main body, consisting of the head, neck, and trunk (subdivided into thorax, abdomen, back, and pelvis/perineum), and paired upper limbs and lower limbs. All the major parts may be further subdivided into areas and region. 7 Surface anatomy An essential part of the study of regional anatomy. Provides knowledge of what lies under the skin and what structures are perceptible to touch (palpable) in the living body at rest and in action. 8 Systematic Anatomy The various systems of which the human body The various systems of which the human body: Osteologythe bony system or skeleton. Syndesmologythe articulations or joints. Myologythe muscles. Angiologythe vascular system, comprising the heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and lymph glands. Neurologythe nervous system. The organs of sense may be included in this system. Splanchnologythe visceral system. 9 10 Topographically the viscera form two groups, viz., the thoracic viscera and the abdomino-pelvic viscera. Topographically the viscera form two groups, viz., the thoracic viscera and the abdomino-pelvic viscera. The heart, a thoracic viscus, is best considered with the vascular system. The heart, a thoracic viscus, is best considered with the vascular system. The rest of the viscera may be grouped according to their functions: (a) the respiratory apparatus; (b) the digestive apparatus; and (c) the urogenital apparatus.

It incorporates the regional and systemic approaches to studying anatomy and stresses clinical application It incorporates the regional and systemic approaches to studying anatomy and stresses clinical application. 12 In addition to physicians; Nurses Paramedics Medical secretaries Physiotherapists Radiology technicians Pharmacists Dentists Artists; painters Teachers (e.g., sports, kindergarten teachers) Chiropractors Medical Assistants Nursing Assistants Other 13 To understand bodily function and how both structure and function are modified by disease. To interpret the images that are produced by the sophisticated imaging techniques, such as CT, MRI, DTI.

Dissection: (Oxford dictionary) from Latin dissectus, past participle of dissecare to cut apart, from dis- + secare to cut. The action of dissecting a body or plant to study its internal parts. 16 Prosection: A prosection is the dissection of a cadaver (human or animal) or part of a cadaver by an experienced anatomist in order to demonstrate for students anatomic structure. In a dissection, students learn by doing In a prosection, students learn by either observing a dissection being performed by an experienced anatomist or examining a specimen that has already been dissected by an experienced anatomist (etymology: Latin pro- "before" + sectio "a cutting) 17 Other materials of learning human anatomy: Anatomy models Anatomy atlases (Pictures, drawings) Videos Textbooks Charts Etc. 18 MOORESNELL GRAYS ANATOMY SOBOTTANETTERGRANT Famous Anatomy Books & Atlases 19 Anatomy Textbooks Clinically Oriented Anatomy Keith L.

It has been characterized, over time, by a continually developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body. 29 The field of Human Anatomy has a prestigious history, and is considered to be the most prominent of the biological sciences of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Methods have also improved dramatically, advancing from examination of animals through dissection of cadavers to technologically complex techniques developed in the 20th century. 30 Ancient anatomy Egypt The study of anatomy begins at least as early as 1600 BCE The study of anatomy begins at least as early as 1600 BCE.Greece The earliest medical scientist of whose works any great part survives today is Hippocrates, a Greek physician active in the late 5th and early 4th centuries BCE ( BCE). Much of his work relies on speculation rather than empirical observation of the body. 31 Galen The final major anatomist of ancient times was Galen, active in the 2nd century. Galen of Pergamon (modern-day Bergama, Turkey), was a prominent Roman (of Greek ethnicity) physician, surgeon and philosopher (of Greek ethnicity) physician, surgeon and philosopher His collection of drawings, based mostly on dog anatomy, became the anatomy textbook for 1500 years. 32 Early modern anatomy The first major development in anatomy occurred at Bologna in the 14th to 16th centuries, where a series of authors dissected cadavers and contributed to the accurate description of organs and the identification of their functions.

The discipline also progressed to establish growing sources of knowledge in histology and developmental biology, not only of humans but also of animals. Extensive research was conducted in more areas of anatomy. 36 Anatomy museums in Europe 37 Body snatchers Body snatchers Body murderers even Anatomy murder The most recent account of anatomy murders was in 1992, when a Colombian activist, Juan Pablo Ordoez, claimed that 14 poor residents of Barranquilla, Colombia, had been killed to provide cadavers for the local medical school. Graveyard watchtower, New Calton Burying Ground, Edinburgh 38 Burke and Hare murders Burke and Hare murders sold the corpses of their 17 victims to provide material for dissection The Burke and Hare murders (also known as the West Port murders) were serial murders perpetrated in Edinburgh, Scotland, from November 1827 to October 31, The killings were attributed to Irish immigrants William Burke and William Hare, who sold the corpses of their 17 victims to provide material for dissection. Their purchaser was Doctor Robert Knox, a private anatomy lecturer whose students were drawn from Edinburgh Medical College.Doctor Robert Knox 39 1. Pre-dissection period ( ): Anatomy education was given theoretically. 2. Unmedicated cadaver period ( ): Anatomy experts were appointed from abroad Sultan Abdlmecid has signed the imperical decree allowing dissections with the purpose of education. 3. Medicated cadaver period (1908-present): In anatomy education by using the method of giving chemical substance through vein, cadavers began to be used initially without decaying in this period. As a result, scale of practice in anatomy education increased considerably. 40 In vivo In vitro studies studies Animal studies Clinical studies Advanced imaging techniques CT 80s MRI early 90s fMRI late 90s- 21st century 41 All anatomical descriptions are expressed in relation to one consistent position, ensuring that descriptions are not ambiguous. One must visualize this position in the mind when describing patients (or cadavers), whether they are lying on their sides, supine (recumbent, lying on the back, face upward), or prone (lying on the abdomen, face downward). 42 The anatomical position refers to the body position as if the person were standing upright with the: Head, eyes, and toes directed anteriorly (forward) Arms adjacent to the sides with the palms facing anteriorly Lower limbs close together with the feet parallel. 43 44 45 Anatomical descriptions are based on four imaginary planes (median, sagittal, frontal-coronal, and transverse-axial) that intersect the body in the anatomical position. Sagittal= New Latin sagittlis < sagitta (arrow) Coronal= L. corona "crown, garland Axial = "pertaining to an axis, 46 The median plane, the vertical plane passing longitudinally through the body, divides the body into right and left halves. Sagittal planes are vertical planes passing through the body parallel to the median plane Sagittal planes are vertical planes passing through the body parallel to the median plane. 47 Frontal (coronal) planes are vertical planes passing through the body at right angles to the median plane, dividing the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts. 48 Transverse planes are horizontal planes passing through the body at right angles to the median and frontal planes, dividing the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts. Radiologists refer to transverse planes as transaxial, which is commonly shortened to axial planes. 51 Anatomy books describe (initially, at least) the structure of the body as it is usually observed in peoplethat is, the most common pattern. However, occasionally a particular structure demonstrates so much variation within the normal range that the most common pattern is found less than half the time!
